Month: 2025-07 — opentdf/charts focused on enhancing deployment customization and preserving backward compatibility. Delivered Kubernetes Deployment Annotations feature by updating the deployment template and values.yaml to allow users to attach metadata to deployments. Restored backward compatibility by re-exposing older Platform Helm chart versions (0.11.0, 0.10.1, 0.10.0, 0.9.0, 0.8.5, 0.8.4) in index.yaml, ensuring accessibility for existing users.
